Tips on the best use of Flat Sat Classic Smart
When you park your vehicle, make sure that:
1) No obstacle (for example trees) is too near your antenna, preventing it from moving
freely. No metal or glass wall is very near (about 5 m) the antenna, since this would
act as a mirror for satellite signals and could induce the antenna to stop towards it.
2) Remove any snow or ice from the Flat Sat Classic Smart before actuating it in order
to avoid wasting battery power trying to lift it.
3) If you decide to turn the engine of your vehicle on in order to re-charge its batteries,
with the safety cable connected to the ignition key, the antenna, if lifted, will come
down automatically and it will not be possible to lift it again as long as the engine is
running.
4) Make sure that your batteries are always sufficiently charged, since, if the voltage
falls below 10 Volts, the Flat Sat Classic Smart electronic safety circuit will prevent
the antenna from rising.
5) Should you use 12 Volt power supply instead of batteries, be careful to use stabilized
power supply being able to provide 5 A continuously and at least 10 A for short periods.
At all costs, avoid using low quality, non stabilized battery chargers.
6) It is recommended not to use the antenna under strong wind conditions
(80 km/h). Failure to comply with this condition may result in product degradation
which the manufacturer cannot be held responsible for.
7) Antenna closing operations, whether by user's control or automatically for
vehicle start-up, require variable time.
Before starting the vehicle, always make sure that the antenna is fully closed.
8) If the vehicle on which the antenna is installed is loaded onto a train or truck,
make sure it is loaded in the direction of travel of the train/truck that will be
transporting it.
Failure to observe this precaution may cause the dish to lift and damage the
antenna and/or vehicle.

product owing to misuse.
